Tomatoes were brought from America, no one knew of America during roman times and thus Tomatoes were non existent

>>16509433
But Rome still existed when america was discovered

>>16509433
Yeah but Rome couldn't get any tomatoes because Denmark had banned their american colonies from trading with them

the viking discovery of america is the most retarded meme of all time

>>16509430
>italian pasta recipes all have tomato
Not true at all, most of them don't have tomatoes. There are also pasta dishes that have tomato-less version because originally they were born without it

Don't need tomaters when everyone is bootlegging their own fish sauce on the back stoop.
Imagine the smell.

Kensington stone is real, get with the times.

>>16509444
Tomatoes didn't exist in Europe then

Where did all the MI float copper go? And how did it cross an ocean? Historians HATE Travis, discover his one weird trick to Unearthing America's secret past!

>no one knew of America during roman time
LMAO, I'm sure the people living in the Americas knew about tomatoes. But we all know only European history matters.

>>16511768

>But we all know only European history matters.
Very true.

>>16511785
Yes, that is correct

>>16509430
the Romans weren't Italian and Italians aren't Romans
the idea of Italy as one nation and one people was created in the 19th century. before that, people self identified by more local geographical regions. this was a problem for Italy in WW1
most current, political, self identifications are new, and almost all of the old ones are gone

And a Caeser was leader of Germany.

>But we all know only European history matters.
well yeah no shit retard. If the history of squatting horse and the nibixee tribe was important we'd be learning that.

>>16511785
American history was basically irrelevant up until the Europeans discovered the continent and settled there permanently

I think Italians didn't eat tomatoes until the late 70s... they thought tomatoes were poisonous. Obviously, Italians are not Romans

>>16509430
Amatriciana is from Rome/environs and it has tomatoes

>>16512082
Wait I might be as retarded as op... bitch ancient Romans didn't fucking have tomatoes they're a new world plant.

>>16512081
Italians have been eating tomatoes since the mid 19th century, literally nobody thought they were poisonous in fucking 1978, by then spaghetti with tomato sauce had been somewhat popular in most other first world countries for decades. You're off by over a century

>>16509433
The Vikings traded with the Americas before the Roman empire. The Romans however, genocided all the Celts and many Nords and took all their technology. The Nords were probably exposed to tomatoes before the Mediterranean tribes.

>>16509569
same could be said for Australia
various countries discovered it up to 500 years before the Brits found it, but no-one gave a shit about it.
Brits found it, were like ok fuck it this'll do, found gold and suddenly Melbourne became the richest city in the world not even 50 years after they arrived.
